If you wait till the checker flag to finally make a call, and the penalize a driver, that's some major league BS. 2 laps to go, throw the caution for a false start, re rack them, go green. They do it every week at almost every dirt track. It's not hard

first of all it's not a double file restart. its a Delaware style restart where the leader gets the front row to themselves. my understanding of dirt racing rules (I have been around the posrt for 50+ years) is that the caution is only thrown for a jump on the initial start of the race. a jump on a restart during the race is always penalized at the next caution or after the checkers if the race completes.

It was a good call. The leader as the whole front row to themselves. The 5 car was beside the leader, not behind the rear of the leading car. 100% correct ruling
I played the replay starting at 3:33 and played it in slow motion. Never seen seen the 5t but anywhere but behind the 12. 12 passed the cone at 3:34 3:35 approximately with the 5t clearly behind him
I saw this on Facebook of Troutman talking to Lee in Victory Lane. I was so confused why Lee was mad. He won. Troutman didn't look mad, & i think he should be. The restart looked fair. But if it's not right, why not just call it off & redo it? Give Troutman a warning & do it right.

I don't think it was a good restart, but they shouldn't have waited until the race was over to make the call. I think they should have thrown a yellow, put the 5 back a row and thrown the green.
piss poor showing of favoritism. this is why i despise certain tracks. they will do what they can or make up any excuse they can to penalize anyone who beats their favorite. HE DID NOT JUMP THE RESTART. if they felt he jumped the restart, throw the caution flag and RE START THE RESTART !! instead of making stupid a$$ calls !!!!! it was obvious this guy was going to win, so they made this really really REALLY BAD CALL.
A guy from TN is the track favorite at east bay?? Seriously?

With today’s technology I think we should have a throttle response sensor that officials can see to see if there’s is a jump start which here there wasn’t and as long as the leader is 1st at the line I’d say it’s a clean restart …very good attitude to 5 and if I was 12 I would’ve said that trouman should be at the podium not me.
He jumped? I saw Troutman's car BEHIND Lee, the entire time from corner to starting line! Race director needs to be fired! This cannot happen in 2023, A DISGRACE!!
90% of Open Wheel Modified drivers are absolute clowns. They believe they are more important than reality actually shows. At the end of the day Open Wheel mods is a support class.
Delaware Style restart, leader has first row by themselves, 2nd chooses top or bottom and double file from there. Guessing they nabbed the 5 for being next to the 12 at time of restart
@Jess Chambers go to the 2:38 mark, the last restart, I'll never be convinced the 12 wasn't by himself when he restarted. The 5 wasn't next to him until they almost reach the flag stand
Irregardless of video evidence that's contrary to the alleged 'jumped the start' claim, this race track officiating appears to have gotten offended by the Checkers falling to the Hard Charger, instead of the not fast enough boo'd y'all boy. Cringe move.
@@jesschambers6551 exactly, he was side by side with the leader when the green dropped. It was essentially a double file restart when it was supposed to be Delaware. So it was a good call docking him 2 spots. Alot of series don't call back a restart and dock afterwards now.
100% correct call. Troutman was even with the leader in the apex, then slid back about about a half a car length when Lee fired. So Troutman was out of position the entire restart. They discussed in the drivers meeting that you shall maintain space between front and rear bumpers on restarts. Good call!
The 12 was ahead of him when they got to the line. Doesn’t matter if he is next to him as long as his nose is not infront of the 12. Plain and simple he got screwed
It is judged off of the nose of the car so if the leaders car is even 1-in in front of the second place car then it's good to go and clearly you could tell by the videos that the leader was probably a couple of feet in front of the second place car so I don't know what the officials were looking at but it obviously wasn't that restart, the guy in the five got screwed
Not on a double file restart as long as you do not pass the leader before the start finish line then it is a clean start. Secondly if they felt he jumped they should have thrown the yellow and restart them again.
If only they were restarting double file. Delaware double file has the leader in the first row by themselves, everyone else double file behind the leader
That’s bs. He didn’t jump the start. Was clearly still behind leader. Smdh why tf didn’t they wave the start and do it over instead of letting that guy race his heart out and then come up with bs to take it away from him??
He was almost a full car length behind him at the cone idk how they do their restarts though but most of the tracks you cant pass until youve passed the cone
How did he jump the start, when they got to the start finish line is a guy on the inside, the leader, was a head of the guy on the outside by a couple of feet or so, meaning the second place guy who was on the outside did not jump the start, and then what do you mean ran down on the guy, both of them kept their lanes going into the next corner, what were you watching because I don't think it was the same thing everybody else was who says the five car got screwed, because of the five car got screwed whether you like to admit it or not
@@matthewchenoweth8303 thank you are thinking about single-file restarts regarding the cone, because when it comes to double-file restarts because of the whole double-file thing you are going to have cars beside each other

lol, no it wasnt GREAT CALL, leader gets his own lane.. what dont you people get about that?
@@Trick_Dickle I wasn't implying to any rule or violations of said rule/s Just was into the moment of racing and wanting to see him pull it off.! Lol great battle that was for however many laps that was! Great Highlights that FloRacing shares with Dirt Track Fans..!!
Let’s wait and see if troutman loses first no he won so let’s penalize him for jumping
Good call, Nothing controversial. It was an obvious jump for a Delaware style start.
With today’s technology I think we should have a throttle response sensor that officials can see to see if there’s is a jump start which here there wasn’t and as long as the leader is 1st at the line I’d say it’s a clean restart …very good attitude to 5 and if I was 12 I would’ve said that trouman should be at the podium not me.
He jumped? I saw Troutman's car BEHIND Lee, the entire time from corner to starting line! Race director needs to be fired! This cannot happen in 2023, A DISGRACE!!
Didn't look like he jumped to me. I mean they went across the line with him still in 2nd... WTF?
Shameful
Good call
90% of Open Wheel Modified drivers are absolute clowns. They believe they are more important than reality actually shows. At the end of the day Open Wheel mods is a support class.
The whole point of Delaware restarts is to make the Top 2 even at the line.
What a horrendous call
5 car never jumped that's a bad called
you dont know what dirt racing restarts then
Hats off to Drake!
Maybe they want door to door, in-line not half way up the track. They tell you that in the drivers meeting.
Delaware Style restart, leader has first row by themselves, 2nd chooses top or bottom and double file from there. Guessing they nabbed the 5 for being next to the 12 at time of restart
@Jess Chambers go to the 2:38 mark, the last restart, I'll never be convinced the 12 wasn't by himself when he restarted. The 5 wasn't next to him until they almost reach the flag stand
@@jesschambers6551 but that wasn’t a Delaware style start. That was a regular double file.
@Dylan Colding they definitely were Delaware double file, watch the restart before
@@jefft1978 he's next to him at 2:34 going into 3
I didn’t really see a jump. Nailed it and went high but never went ahead…idk
He’s behind the leader at the line. That was dumb
Lee should be taking driving lessons from Troutman
Irregardless of video evidence that's contrary to the alleged 'jumped the start' claim, this race track officiating appears to have gotten offended by the Checkers falling to the Hard Charger, instead of the not fast enough boo'd y'all boy. Cringe move.
Sore winner....🤷♂️🤦♂️
To bad the streaming quit after heats have to watch else where
They deleted my first honest comment. So if speaking truths is wrong , then single finger salute to LL looking like a crackhead in victory lane
Delaware double file, side by side in 4 at the green. Good call.
Delaware double file has the leader alone in the first row and 2nd on back double file BEHIND the leader
@@jesschambers6551 exactly, he was side by side with the leader when the green dropped. It was essentially a double file restart when it was supposed to be Delaware. So it was a good call docking him 2 spots. Alot of series don't call back a restart and dock afterwards now.
@Ez Duz It guess it was supposed to be double file though. Being told other places that they went to double file with 5 to go
100% correct call. Troutman was even with the leader in the apex, then slid back about about a half a car length when Lee fired. So Troutman was out of position the entire restart. They discussed in the drivers meeting that you shall maintain space between front and rear bumpers on restarts. Good call!
Not a good call, the same start occurred with three to go and no penalty. Also, the last three restarts weren't Delaware starts.
If the rule says behind he was definitely beside him so that's that.
The 12 was ahead of him when they got to the line. Doesn’t matter if he is next to him as long as his nose is not infront of the 12. Plain and simple he got screwed
It is judged off of the nose of the car so if the leaders car is even 1-in in front of the second place car then it's good to go and clearly you could tell by the videos that the leader was probably a couple of feet in front of the second place car so I don't know what the officials were looking at but it obviously wasn't that restart, the guy in the five got screwed
Not on a double file restart as long as you do not pass the leader before the start finish line then it is a clean start. Secondly if they felt he jumped they should have thrown the yellow and restart them again.
If only they were restarting double file. Delaware double file has the leader in the first row by themselves, everyone else double file behind the leader
Sure looked like he was behind the 12 car to me at the start. Yeah . . . Ya got ripped off buddy. Ya got ripped off. 🐃💩
That’s bs. He didn’t jump the start. Was clearly still behind leader. Smdh why tf didn’t they wave the start and do it over instead of letting that guy race his heart out and then come up with bs to take it away from him??
most dont understand the cone nor the fact the second place starts in the second row on a restart (leader gets his own lane)
That’s a bullshit call !!!
WTH ?
That was bs
Lucas Lee…where do i order a t shirt🤙🏼
What a joke.
Nah 👎
bs
BS
He jumped the start! then ran down on the guy? What’s controversial besides flo racing
He was almost a full car length behind him at the cone idk how they do their restarts though but most of the tracks you cant pass until youve passed the cone
So he dud 2hat he goibg to say when i jump omis wife
How did he jump the start, when they got to the start finish line is a guy on the inside, the leader, was a head of the guy on the outside by a couple of feet or so, meaning the second place guy who was on the outside did not jump the start, and then what do you mean ran down on the guy, both of them kept their lanes going into the next corner, what were you watching because I don't think it was the same thing everybody else was who says the five car got screwed, because of the five car got screwed whether you like to admit it or not
@@matthewchenoweth8303 thank you are thinking about single-file restarts regarding the cone, because when it comes to double-file restarts because of the whole double-file thing you are going to have cars beside each other
@DIY Chad 726 leader was suppose to have the first row alone, 2nd on back double file. Think they got the 5 for being beside the 12 at the time of restart
The 12 should have hit the pace car so he could've been perfect on hitting every car on the track .
That kid got the shaft.. unbelievable...EastBay..uinz got him.. shitty call...
When will yall open ur eyes all these sport industry are all becoming the same where they get to pick the winner or they will wait til the end of the night and only give u half the pay out I've been in the racing since 93 and I've been seeing this alot
